From this ABCNews article https://abcnews.go.com/Technology/story?id=5743620
"Aiming to reboot the image of Windows, Microsoft MSFT has kicked off its largest-ever consumer ad campaign with a commercial — about nothing...The ad features classic Seinfeld-like banter as Gates shops at a cheesy mall shoe store. It mentions Microsoft only once near the end (about making PCs "delicious") and the Windows logo is shown briefly at the close. The ambiguity is by design, says David Webster, Microsoft general manager of brand and marketing strategy. It's "an icebreaker" for a broad effort to include print, outdoor, online and TV ads and Windows store promotion. "Getting people talking about it was the goal" says Webster, who would not reveal the budget for the effort or what Seinfeld is being paid."
